Missing stop at the end of the sentence?

Ditto.

I was wondering how sysfs-compliant this was,
in terms of one value per attribute.

Although, we do seem to break this on a few cases.

This code is not a module, so how about fs_initcall?

I can be wrong, but I see no way to remove it :-)

I thought about making it more one-value-per-attribute, by considering
each tuple (encoding,version) a different object. So the structure
would look like:

/sys/fs/unicode/utf-8/<version>/

But it felt completely over-engineered, considering we don't support
anything other than utf-8, and I don't see versions having specific
attributes. But maybe this way is more future-proof.

Right. for the record, I'm planing to make part of it build as a module
in a future patch to reduce the large footprint of the decoding table on
systems that don't care about it. Will fix on v3.
